Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Rhode-Saint-Genese

The Drive from CRL to Rhode-Saint-Genese

The route covers 48 km (30 miles) and typically takes about 38 minutes by road. Charleroi lies south of Brussels, so you travel north towards the capital's southern edge before reaching Rhode-Saint-Genese. Rush hours on the approaches to Brussels can slow things down, so allow some extra time if your drop-off is tied to an appointment, a check-in or a connecting journey. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other, and your driver tracks your arrival so the pickup stays smooth.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Starbucks in the airport with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle depends on how many people are travelling and how much luggage you have:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, families and small groups.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats (1-8 passengers): a comfortable choice for a bigger family or friends travelling with suitcases.
• Private Minibus 16 to 64 Seats: available in steps of eight seats (16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64) for teams, tour parties, school trips and event guests.

If you are unsure which size fits, choose the next one up when you carry bulky items such as sports equipment, prams or several large cases.

About Rhode-Saint-Genese

Rhode-Saint-Genese (Sint-Genesius-Rode in Dutch) is a residential municipality in Flemish Brabant, just south of Brussels. It borders the Sonian Forest, which gives the area a green, leafy character, and it is known as one of the Flemish municipalities with language facilities for French speakers. Because it is mostly residential, it helps to have the exact street address ready when you book, so the driver can take you straight to the door.
